We offer our Speedway bolt on disc brake kit with emergency brake calipers part number 91031921 or Wilwood disc brake kit 8351407140 which has a drum style emergency brake.
If the cost difference isn't a big deal to you then we suggest the Wilwood kit since the emergency brake calipers are a not the easiest thing to work with. Bleeding them and keeping the emergency brake working properly can be a challenge at times. The Wilwood kit uses an emergency brake system typical of most modern day vehicles with rear disc brakes.

Tribute T rear end
I noticed the updated rear suspension features locating links with heim joints. In the interest of being more period correct could a builder safely remove or replace these with something else? Suggestions?
Also, could the medium arch spring be swapped for the high arch or would it be too wide for the crossmember?
Thanks!

On the Tribute T kit 7151800 the lower links have tie rod ends for a more period correct appearance. The upper control links triangulate the system and do have heim joints. Once mounted with the fuel tank are not very noticeable. They could be swapped with tie rod ends but would require modification to the frame and mounts as the tie rod ends would require a tapered mount. To swap in the high arch spring would require changing the cross member to accommodate the wider spring and the ride height would dramatically change. Most customers desire the low ride height and a 5+” rear height increase would net a dramatic rake and stance.

Hello, do you offer the pieces without the axle aseembly? I would like to use this style suspension, but with a Ford 8.8 axle. Do you have any suggestions or kits to make an 8.8 for the tribute t?

We apologize but with the complexity of the rear suspension on the Tribute T our Jigs are set up for correct spacing and angles on the Quick Change and the 9". We do not offer a specific kit for the 8.8 and without a centered housing may be difficult to weld on as needed. We can sell the chassis and all the components for the rear suspension but it would be up to the builder to do the necessary modifications and fabrication to function properly.

Even though the title says "Tribute T-Bucket" could the axle be used on an original 1930-31 Ford Model A Cabriolet? If not is there another 9 Inch Ford Rear End that is compatible with the Model A and a Posi-Traction Third Member Assembly # 91048345-28-370 ?

No this rear end assembly would not work in a stock Model A because the spring is behind the axle which would put the wheels ahead on original location. The Model A has the rear end centered under the cross member and the spring on top of the axle housing.

This kit is specific to the Tribute T with a 9" rear end option. It has a triangulated 4 link system that keeps the rear end located both front to rear and left to right. The upper bracket bolts in place and can be sold separately as part number 71501909.

If you’re looking for a complete third member for your Ford 9-inch rear end housing, but want the added performance of a limited slip differential, Speedway Motors now offers you a 9" Ford street 3rd member for your street rod, muscle car or truck. We start with a new carrier housing and then install bearings, seals, a heavy duty "Daytona" pinion support, a 1310-series yoke, and your choice of ring-and-pinion ratios. The 1310-series yoke is the correct size for many Ford applications with cups 1-1/16 inch in outside diameter and a span of 3-7/32 inch across.

These Ford 9 inch third member assemblies feature a Richmond Powertrax Grip Pro limited slip differential available in 28 or 31 spline axle shaft configurations. This helical gear differential is perfect for light-to-medium weight street vehicles where one wants posi-action without the adverse handling effects or noise of a full locker. Because there are no friction plates, there is no friction modifier additive necessary.

All third members are assembled by our team of professionals and are delivered to you in a handy plastic carrying case, for an overall value that can’t be beat

Available in your choice of 3.50, 3.70, 3.89, 4.11 or 4.56 gear ratio.

If you thought all T-buckets were the same, think again! The all-new Speedway Motors Tribute T breaks the T-bucket mold. It offers the traditional look of classic, competition-influenced roadsters combined with modern components and refined engineering. All this in a comfortable package thats easy to assemble using basic hand tools.

The Tribute T frame has an extra-high rear kickup and Model A rear crossmember that will accept our medium-arch rear leaf spring. Rear axle options include our bolt-on Winters quick-change kit 7151801, bolt-on 9" Ford rear axle option 7151809, or a Ford-style banjo rear end of your choice (must be a centered-pinion rear axle). The front suspension uses a 4 inch drop I-beam axle, wishbone-style radius rods and traditional steering with a reversed Corvair steering box. All suspension, steering and brake pedal brackets are pre-welded to the frame and you can choose from flathead Ford V8 or small-block Chevy engine mounts. (Please indicate your engine and transmission application being used in the comments box at checkout.) A special floor allows the Tribute T body to sit a low as possible, while still providing room for our Bomber Seats or cushions of your design.
